My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Damned (1969)

I felt damned watching this melodramatic waste of time.  Watching the Third Reich corrupt an unlikeable, wealthy steel-factory-owning family is about as fun as viewing Dynasty in German.   I don't really need to go any further, I pretty much hated this overrated snooze fest that uses shocking twists to entertain you instead of compelling characters.  Luchino Visconti impressed me with The Leopard but I question his supposed brilliance now that I've seen this.  Grade: C-
